Last night I didn't have many dreams, and the ones I did weren't very interesting and I can only remember pieces now. So instead I will be having an occasional feature:

Facts about dreams and dreamers!!

So, today's fact is about Thomas Edison. As you (hopefully) know he was an inventor. When he was working on a problem he would go to sleep with marbles in his hand. As soon as he fell into REM sleep his hand would relax. Then the marbles would fall. This is because your body want to prevent you from moving in your dreams, so it relaxes you. What this meant is he could remember his dreams almost perfectly, and get insights from them. Pretty cool, huh?
